Abstract
A cylindrical multiwire drift chamber with axial charge-division has b een constructed and used in experiment E852 at Brookhaven National Lab oratory. It serves as a trigger element and as a tracking device for r ecoil protons in pi(-)p interactions. We describe the chamber's design considerations, details of its construction, electronics, and perform ance characteristics.
